Join the Cronkite Legacy

ASU Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication

The Cronkite name stands for excellence, integrity and innovation
The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication embodies the values of its namesake. With the school’s historic move to the center of the Phoenix media market in fall 2008, there are now more opportunities to help the Cronkite School become the country’s premier professional journalism program.

A cutting-edge media education complex
The six-story, 223,000-square-foot structure is the centerpiece of ASU’s new downtown campus in the heart of Phoenix, the nation’s fifth largest city. Highlights include:

Prime Location. Closer to major media organizations than any journalism school in the nation.

Professional Environment. Seven dynamic newsrooms devoted to all-day learning and real-life production and innovation in print, TV, radio, public relations and new media.

Public Forum. A two-story public forum, the building’s activity hub and site of events for students and nationally televised forums.

Student Services. A glass-enclosed student library, lounge and resource center, the center of the student services wing of the building.

PBS Partnership. Eight/KAET-TV, the ASU-operated public broadcasting station, joins the Cronkite School in the new complex.
